Sauna thermostat limit should be set at?

The appropriate setting for a sauna thermostat limit is 194°F. This temperature is commonly considered the optimal maximum for traditional Finnish saunas, as it allows for a high level of heat while still ensuring safety and comfort for users.

Setting the limit at 194°F provides an effective balance of heat that promotes relaxation and sweating, which are primary benefits of sauna use. Temperatures above this threshold may lead to discomfort or even unsafe conditions for users, particularly for those with certain health issues.

Saunas are designed to operate within specific temperature ranges, typically between 150°F and 195°F, depending on personal preferences and sauna types. While some may suggest higher limits, 194°F is considered to strike the best compromise between efficacy and safety in most sauna applications.
